and I owned nothing

Companies love that, until everybody is completely in debt and they learn you can't seize property from people that don't own anything.

    I think you are too nice.
    they are actively trying to own everything.
    And then they don't need to seize anything, because you are forced to work to the bone (even more than you are right now) to just afford your own house rent/property tax.

    Companies love to become like old Lord and counts and own the land/products and you just rent and work for them.

    Not as much of a stop as you would think. Historically speaking Ford motor company already tried basically enslaving indigenous people on the Amazon for rubber production. Most of the cotton in the US (and many other industries) was done by black slaves. Current fishing in south east Asia (and other places I'm sure) can have slaving with extra steps on a boat. Apple/Nike and other big brand factories in chine have had nets installed to prevent suicides, etc. There is no stopping the horrible disease that is wealth hoarding and human exploration it seems.
